<h3>Answer:</h3>

6 in

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Let M be the midpoint of AB. ∆CMB and ∆CMA are both isosceles triangles, so CM = (AB)/2 = 9 in.

CG = (2/3)(CM) = (2/3)(9 in)

CG = 6 in

<em>Comment on centroid and median</em>

The centroid of a triangle is located 1/3 the distance from the midpoint of a side to the opposite vertex. This is true for any median in any triangle. The proof can be developed from the fact that every median divides the triangle's area in half. Here, we just take advantage of this fact.

Answer:

perimeter: 4x+2 area: x^2+x

Step-by-step explanation:

for perimeter, you add x+x+x+x+1+1, which is 4x+2

for area, you multiply x*x+1, which would be x^2+x

Maria had planned to walk 10 1/8 miles on wednesday, if she walked 7 2/8 miles in the morning how far would she need to walk in

Ugo [173]

Answer:

Distance Maria had to walk in the afternoon is $2\frac{7}{8}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets take that Maria walked $x$ miles in the afternoon.

Distance walked in the morning + distance walked in the afternoon = $10\frac{1}{8}$

⇒ $7\frac{2}{8} +x=10\frac{1}{8}$

$\frac{58}{8} +\frac{8x}{8} =\frac{81}{8}$

$\frac{58+8x}{8} =\frac{81}{8}$

$58+8x=81$

$8x=81-58\\$

$8x=23$

$x=\frac{23}{8}$

$x=2\frac{7}{8}$

About 6% of the population has a particular genetic mutation. 600 people are randomly selected. find the standard deviation for

Rina8888 [55]

Assume a binomial distribution. Then the mean of the distribution is $np$ , where $n$ is the number of people taken in a sample and $p$ is the probability of the mutation occurring in any given person, and the standard deviation is $\sqrt{np(1-p)}$ . Then in this case, the standard deviation is $\sqrt{600(0.06)(0.94)}\approx5.82$ .
